Project Story
While studying Textile Engineering at Istanbul Technical University, I founded ARNLINE, my first web development and design studio. As an active member of ITUTEK (Istanbul Technical University Textile Club), I designed the club’s official logo and developed its complete web portal. The platform included news management, event announcements, sponsorship pages, downloads, and community features, becoming the organization’s primary digital communication platform. This project became one of the earliest milestones in my professional journey and opened the door to larger university and enterprise projects.
Project Overview
Designed the official logo, corporate identity, and web portal for ITUTEK, the Istanbul Technical University Textile Club. The platform served as the club's central communication hub, combining news, events, sponsorship management, downloads, member information, and community interaction.
Challenge
The club required a recognizable visual identity together with an online platform that could support communication, event promotion, sponsorship activities, and student engagement within a single system.
Solution
Created both the visual identity and the complete web platform, providing administrators with an easy way to publish announcements, manage events, interact with students, and present sponsors through a centralized content management system.
Result
Delivered a unified brand identity and an active community portal that became the official online presence of the organization and supported its activities throughout multiple academic events and sponsorship programs.
Textile-Inspired Logo Design
Inspired by the interlacing structure of warp and weft threads.
Designed the club's visual identity around the fundamental structure of woven textiles. The logo was created by combining intersecting warp and weft patterns, symbolizing textile engineering, craftsmanship and the interconnected nature of fabric construction.

Designed and developed the official ITÜTEK website as a dynamic portal combining news, announcements, events, sponsor areas, student resources and community interaction in one platform.
